Psalmi 2

1 Zašto se bune narodi, zašto puci ludosti snuju?

Wherefore did the heathen rage, and the nations imagine vain things?

2 Ustaju kraljevi zemaljski, knezovi se rotÄe protiv Jahve i Pomazanika njegova:

The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers gathered themselves together, against the Lord, and against his Christ;

3 “Skršimo okove njihove i jaram njihov zbacimo!”

[saying], Let us break through their bonds, and cast away their yoke from us.

4 Smije se onaj što na nebu stoluje, Gospod im se podruguje.

He that dwells in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn, and the Lord shall mock them.

5 Tad im veli u svom gnjevu, žestinom ih on zbunjuje:

Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his fury.

7 Obznanjujem odluku Jahvinu: Gospodin mi reče: “Ti si sin moj, danas te rodih.

9 Vladat ćeš njima palicom gvozdenÄom i razbit ih kao sud lončarski.”

Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel.

10 Opametite se sada, vi kraljevi, Urazumite se, suci zemaljski.

Now therefore understand, ye kings: be instructed, all ye that judge the earth.

11 Služite Jahvi sa strahom, s trepetom se pokorite njemu,

Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice in him with trembling.

12 da se ne razgnjevi te ne propadnete na putu, kad uskoro plane srdžba njegova. Blago svima koji se njemu utječu!

Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and ye should perish from the righteous way: whensoever his wrath shall be suddenly kindled, blessed are all they that trust in him.
